	This was the first tuning system that I ever truly fell in love with in my xenharmonic journey. Whereas most popular tunings such as 17, 19, and 31 felt like simple extensions to the familiar, 15edo allowed for a framework that was beautifully alien in ways that those other systems failed to be.		This was the first tuning system that I ever truly fell in love with in my xenharmonic journey. Whereas most popular tunings such as 17, 19, and 31 felt like simple extensions to the familiar, 15edo allowed for a framework that was beautifully alien in ways that those other systems failed to be.

	While 15edo does not provide accurate representations of the harmonic series, it does provide extremely useful melodic frameworks. The [[Pentawood\|Blackwood Decatonic scale]], for instance, contains several copies of [[Nicetone]] over each degree, allowing for diatonic-like chord progressions to move smoothly between keys that may seem unrelated in systems with a more accurate chain of fifths.		While 15edo does not provide accurate representations of the harmonic series, it does provide extremely useful melodic frameworks. The [[Pentawood\|Blackwood Decatonic scale]], for instance, contains several copies of [[Diatonic#Greek diatonic scales\|Nicetone]] over each degree, allowing for diatonic-like chord progressions to move smoothly between keys that may seem unrelated in systems with a more accurate chain of fifths.

	Additionally, it can be noted that if one makes an [[Delta-rational chord\|isodifferential]] triad with an interval of 400c (the familiar major third from 12edo) between the bottom two pitches, this chord will have a "fifth" which very closely resembles the "fifth" of 5edo. Thus, we can assume that a tuning which contains 3edo and 5edo as subsets has a close approximation of this chord. This can be seen as an alternative way to "fix" the lack of harmonic effect in the 12edo major triad, which detunes the fifth rather than the third.

	In terms of tone organization, 41edo is extremely accurate and efficient. The first fifteen harmonics are practically indistinguishable from JI (potentially excluding 13), and the edostep acts as an all-purpose formal comma, representing S10~S9~78/77~66/65~S8~S7~45/44. Additionally, 41edo is the unique intersection of [[Magic]], [[Sensamagic]], and [[Pentacircle]], all extremely intuitive relationships that make it a perfect choice for composers who want to access strong low-complexity JI-like sound while retaining all the benefits of an equal temperament sequence.

	Additionally, and perhaps more convincingly for ~~practical~~ composers, 41edo maps the perfect fifth to 24 steps. Just like with the perfect fourth of 29edo, this highly divisible interval allows for many useful melodic structures, including (but not limited to) [[Neutral temperaments\|Neutral]], [[Slendric]], [[Tetracot]], and [[Miracle]].
